Coffee machine repair centres

What kind of a joke of a city do we live in? No one here can service a coffee machine? 400000 people and not one of them wants to make a couple hundred bucks pulling apart what’s a fairly basic machine and replacing some parts? Sounds like a business ready for the opening. Canberrans drink a lot of coffee. Cosmorex don’t do obscure brands for repairs either

Buy an Aeropress and a milk frother if needs be.

+1 then check out the Aeropress World Championships for getting the best results from it!

“I’d rather repair it then throw it away.”

Seems a bit extravagant.

So what’s wrong with it?

Buy an Aeropress and a milk frother if needs be.

Cosmorex are good but they have a $50 quotation fee (which comes off the cost of repairs if you go ahead). If this is too much or you just can’t find anyone to do it I recommend searching through some coffee forums to see if anyone has had the same problem and mentions how to fix it. Usually it is a busted pump which you can order online for $30-$100 (depending on the quality) and are pretty easy to replace by yourself.

Good luck!

Its a sad fact but if its less than $1000 to buy new, they were probably designed to not be serviced that much. Last say 5 years at most and get replaced. I’d ask Cosmorex as well, they may be able to at least point you in the right direction in Canberra. Depending on what needs doing it may actually be cheaper to buy a new one which i know is not ideal.

Hey Pete

Have you tried Cosmorex in Fyshwick? They do repairs on-site, but I’m not sure if they do Breville…
